A Home, DIY & Lifestyle Blog
I usually don’t go all out for seasonal decorating. I prefer to keep it simple, and that’s exactly what I did for my fall mantel this year. I added some little fall touches to the mantel and the shelves flanking it, including some mini pumpkins and gourds and a couple of potted succulents. I also gave some…
When I started this blog almost 7 (!!!) years ago, I had never used a power tool before, hadn’t really ever made anything, and didn’t know what I was doing. All I knew was that I enjoyed decorating and as a new stay at home mom, I had no budget for it, so I was…
This year is flying by, and I can’t believe it’s already time to think about decorating for Halloween! I put together this quick and easy craft project using a few simple supplies. Normally I hate spiders of any kind (even of the fake variety), but I made an exception for this Halloween planter box! See…
I am so excited to finally share the DIY plywood kid’s desk I built for Jonah’s room! A while back, I built a bigger version for the older boys’ room (you can see it here), and I wanted to build a modified, miniature version for Jonah. I knew he would be so excited to have…
With summer coming to a close, it’s only a matter of time before chilly weather finally finds its way to the South. I’m always sad to see summer go, but I don’t mind the milder temps and the opportunity to wear sweaters and scarves and sip hot cocoa. I’m usually super late to the game…
Time for some real talk, friends. My house is a hot mess, and one of the reasons for that is that there are always toys covering every square inch of floor space in sight. (We need to purge a lot of them, but for the time being, they’re here.) I temporarily remedied the situation by…
I love a good IKEA hack, so when the folks at Plaid® challenged me to make over an IKEA TARVA nightstand, I was all over it. Today I’ll show you what I did to it and share a tutorial so you can do it too! Plus, I’m also sharing some DIY stenciled string art. Disclosure:…
You all know that I rearrange and redecorate different areas of my home all the time. I get tired of things quickly and crave change. I just worked on a little quick and easy entryway update and wanted to share it with you! Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Kirkland’s. All opinions are my own….
I always love experimenting with new products and sharing them with you. I had a chance to try out the new FolkArt® Watercolor Acrylic Paint™, which I used to paint an abstract design on a small ceramic vase. I have always loved the look of watercolor, so the fact that this paint can be used on a…
I am so excited to announce that I will be a Haven Maven mentor at Haven Conference this year. For those of you who aren’t familiar with it, it’s an annual blogging conference for home & DIY bloggers, and it is awesome! I’ve been going every year since it started. For those of you who…
I finally built a thing! Ha. It’s been way too long since I’ve built anything and this DIY plywood desk project has been on my to do list since last year. This is an easy build and a great project for beginners, and as always, you can customize it to your taste by painting or…
I love a simple craft project, even though I don’t do them often. Quick and easy is my jam. I recently came up with an easy solution to corral some of my craft supplies in my office, and everything I used for this project came from the same aisle in the same store. Disclosure: This…
